Loving Someone Cold as Ice

Chapter 1: Someone New

It was a typical day at Nashikari High School, well for a certain seventeen year old junior it was like any day, except that he had a new student in his class, which to him was a very good improvement.

Well, this is something new, he thought to himself. The boy had long waist length brown/dull gray hair which he always kept tied up in a high ponytail, except for two strands that hung by his ears. He was tall-let's just put it at that; he also had a cold personality, which as normal for him. He wore the Nashikari boy's school uniform, a dark blue jacketed top and pants with black shoes.

He saw the girl walk in, she was a sophomore, a year younger than him, she had her dark ebony hair with brunette highlights held back with a white headband, chocolate brown eyes that appeared to be the color of midnight, and she wore the girl's uniform. He knew that she was different so he decided to ignore her presence for now…so like him.

"Class, we have a new student today, her name is Aurora Hikari, please make her feel welcome," he heard Akira sensei announce.

He felt a smile grace his lips once he heard sensei say, "Aurora, you can sit next to Mikagami-kun," it surprised him as much as the rest of the class, because she never had anyone sit next to him before.

Once she sat down, opened her text book, and didn't pay attention to him, he thought, this is weird, if she is a girl, she doesn't have any type of emotion what so ever! Oh wait, that's me.

It got more interesting as the day progressed, because she had the same classes that he did, go figure, and he knew that Aurora Hikari was someone new. She didn't even try to talk to him even once, which was a shocker, because no one could resist trying to make a conversation with him. Finally, it was lunch, and he had enough of her ignoring him. So that was when he followed her to the roof instead of the lunchroom, since he heard her say that she was going to meet someone there.

He opened the door to the roof, and he saw her sitting down with her legs crossed sitting next to a girl with brunette brown hair, who had emerald green eyes with a tint of gold, and appeared to be the same age as Aurora, except maybe five minutes older. That was when he decided to walk over to them and see what Aurora's problem was, really he was getting irritated, and no girl could ever do that to him.

Aurora then stopped talking and looked his way. "So I see that Tokiya-kun decided to follow me after all," she said this with a smile on her face.

Tokiya concealed his anger the best he could as he sat down, facing them. He just had to ask, "So what is your problem Aurora?"

She could tell that he was mad. "I don't have a problem, and if you want to know, you're getting irritated over nothing," she answered as he stared into her dark midnight eyes.

"Then why are you ignoring me?" He wondered as the girl next to her watched him with intense hate.

She smiled and replied, "Because you're the kind of guy who doesn't realize what's in front of him." Those really made him stare at her like she was crazy or something.

Aurora then turned to the girl and asked, "Um…Cassandra, I know you're my sister, but do you hate Tokiya or something?"

Cassandra just looked at her and answered bluntly, "Yes, I hate to say it, but I hate him."

Now that made him stare at Cassandra, and yet he couldn't help but hate her for some reason that he couldn't place, still it felt right to hate her in a weird way. There was nothing he could do about it, except think about what Aurora said. Yet Aurora was something new…just someone that might have just caught his interest.
